The Other McCain

"One should either write ruthlessly what one believes to be the truth, or else shut up." — Arthur Koestler

Loren Burke Is a Great American!

Earlier today, talking about the California surfer dudes who hit the beach in hope of riding the tsunami, I said: There is something distinctly American about guys who are willing to risk their lives for a super-gnarly wave. The surge wasn’t as overwhelming as the surfers hoped — probably a good thing, too — but […]

The Governor California Deserves

Wrecking the state in the name of civil rights: Gov. Jerry Brown on Thursday called education funding a civil rights issue, defending his plan to eliminate redevelopment agencies as necessary to reduce California’s yawning budget deficit and to push more tax revenue to schools and public safety. “We take from redevelopment and we put $1 […]

I hope that in around 12 hours or so, when the left coast polls open, that ‘Frisco gives that blankety-blank-blank-blank lady […]

California Screaming

My friend Stogie at Saberpoint is, alas, a victim of Californication: The buzz is that California will be a hold out in this next Republican revolution — they will proudly and stubbornly be wrong once again.  While Californians struggle with 22% unemployment, free soup kitchens and food banks, they will nevertheless vote for the party […]
